You may wish to export the contents of your NeoOffice user dictionary at some point, for instance to sync the contents of this dictionary with your Mac OS X user dictionary.
“Exporting†the User Dictionary
When spell-checking a document, you have the option of adding unrecognized words to a user dictionary. The default user dictionary is standard.dic. If you want to export these words, you can do so as follows:
- Locate the dictionary file. It can be found at the following path (where ~ represents your home folder):
- NeoOffice 2.2.x: ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-2.2/user/wordbook/standard.dic
- NeoOffice 3.x: ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-3.0/user/wordbook/standard.dic
- Copy this file to the Desktop or another location
- Edit the name of this file (the copy) so that the extension reads .txt
- Open this .txt file in NeoOffice (if asked which filter to use, chose UTF).
- You will see a list of words separated by # characters. You can use a global search and replace to format the file as you need to.
- You may also need to remove some hard page returns.
Importing Words into the Mac OS X User Dictionary
- Follow the steps above to create a list of words from the NeoOffice user dictionary.
- Save the list of words (e.g. as a text file)
- Open the file in TextEdit
- Spell-check the file in TextEdit and learn the words.
Tools like Dictionary Editor or Dictionary Cleaner may also be useful for transferring words into the Mac OS X dictionary.
